Description

0，從一個「無」的概念，化作一個佔位的符號，再進化為可運算的數字，目的為了無限地接近無限。有些真理即使不可見不可證，也不代表不存在。像素已虛位以待，待萬物入座。

一個人於詩斧之詩境修煉了一整年，每天鑿打知性的無涯之崖，終於等到半裂之石孔發出刻「意」的聲音，因此自號「石音」。

本書可歸類為一本數學詩集、實驗詩集、概念詩集、藝術詩集等。細看之下，不只在詩中，書中及書外每處（封面、書名頁、頁數、輯名的背景圖案、版權頁、定價、國際書號、印刷數量、發佈日子⋯⋯）均滲透數學概念，它們在 0、28、質數、無限這幾大星宿互相牽制之間運動，讓整個佈局猶似宇宙星圖，暗示萬物皆詩的美麗可能性。

人身處浩瀚之中，如微不足見的點點像素存在，卻又如素數 (質數) 於數論中般重要。書名《零像素》多重且看似矛盾的意義，卻自成一幅蘊涵陰陽的太極圖。

Zero. From the concept of nothingness, it transforms into a placeholder symbol, then evolves into a numeral capable of arithmetic operations, with the aim of approaching infinity, infinitely closely. Some truths, even if invisible and unprovable, do not cease to exist. The pixels lie in wait, ready for all things to take their place.

A man spent an entire year cultivating his craft within the poetic realm of the ‘詩斧 Poetic Axe’, chiselling daily at the boundless cliffs of intellect, until at last he heard the sound of ‘intention’ emanating from a partially split hole in the stone; thus, he took the pen name 石音, or ‘Stone Sound’.

This book may be categorised as a collection of mathematical poetry, experimental poetry, conceptual poetry, or artistic poetry. Upon closer inspection, mathematical concepts permeate not only the poems themselves, but every aspect of the book—both within and beyond the text (the cover, title page, page numbers, background patterns of the section titles, copyright page, price, ISBN, print run, publication date, and so on). These concepts—0, 28, prime numbers, and infinity—allow the entire layout to resemble a celestial map of the universe, hinting at the beautiful possibility that all things are poetry.

Human beings, existing amidst this vastness, are like imperceptibly tiny pixels, yet are as important as prime numbers in number theory. The title Zero Pixels, with its multiple and seemingly contradictory meanings, forms in itself a Taiji diagram embodying the principles of yin and yang.
